2 Samuel 12
1 Setelah itu TUHAN mengutus Nabi Natan menemui Daud. Natan pergi kepadanya dan berkata, "Ada dua orang yang tinggal dalam satu kota; yang seorang kaya dan yang seorang lagi miskin.
And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
2 Si kaya mempunyai banyak ternak dan domba,
And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.
3 sedang si miskin hanya mempunyai seekor anak domba, yang dibelinya. Anak domba itu dipeliharanya sampai menjadi besar dalam rumahnya bersama-sama dengan anak-anaknya. Anak domba itu diberi makan dari makanan orang itu, malahan minum dari cangkirnya, dan tidur dalam pangkuannya; pendek kata, dibuatnya seperti anak perempuannya sendiri.
But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4 Pada suatu hari si kaya kedatangan tamu. Si kaya tidak mau memotong domba atau lembunya sendiri supaya dimasak untuk tamunya. Tetapi ia mengambil anak domba si miskin itu, lalu dimasaknya untuk tamunya."
And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
5 Mendengar itu Daud menjadi sangat marah karena perbuatan si kaya itu dan ia berkata, "Kejam sekali orang kaya itu! Demi TUHAN yang hidup, orang itu harus mengganti anak domba itu empat kali lipat dan ia harus dihukum mati!"
And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
And he shall restore the lamb sevenfold, because he has not spared.
7 Kata Natan kepada Daud, "Bagindalah orang itu! Dan inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN, Allah Israel, 'Engkau sudah Kuangkat menjadi raja atas Israel dan Kuselamatkan dari Saul.
And Nathan said to David, You are the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out the hand of Saul;
8 Kerajaan Saul dan istri-istrinya telah Kuberikan kepadamu, bahkan engkau Kuangkat menjadi raja atas Israel dan Yehuda. Seandainya itu belum cukup, pasti akan Kuberikan lagi kepadamu sebanyak itu.
and I gave you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given you yet more.
9 Mengapa engkau tidak mempedulikan perintah-perintah-Ku? Mengapa kaulakukan kejahatan itu? Uria kausuruh bunuh dalam pertempuran; kaubiarkan dia dibunuh oleh orang Amon, dan kauambil istrinya!
Why have you set at nothing the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? you have slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and you have taken his wife to be your wife, and you have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Karena engkau tidak mentaati Aku dan kauambil istri Uria, maka dalam setiap keturunanmu turun-temurun ada yang mati terbunuh.
Now therefore the sword shall not depart from your house for ever, because you has set me at nothing, and you have taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be your wife.
11 Aku bersumpah akan menimpakan malapetaka terhadapmu yang datangnya dari keluargamu sendiri. Aku akan mengambil istri-istrimu di depan matamu sendiri dan Kuberikan kepada orang lain yang akan tidur bersama mereka pada siang bolong.
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against you evil out of your house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and will give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Engkau telah berbuat dosa dengan diam-diam, sebaliknya Aku akan membuktikan ancaman-Ku dengan terang-terangan di depan seluruh Israel.'"
For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Lalu kata Daud kepada Natan, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN." Jawab Natan, "TUHAN telah mengampuni Baginda; jadi Baginda tidak akan mati.
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.
14 Tetapi karena Baginda telah menghina TUHAN dengan perbuatan itu, putra Baginda yang baru lahir itu akan mati."
Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you shall surely die.
15 Setelah itu pulanglah Natan ke rumahnya. Putra Daud yang dilahirkan oleh Batsyeba janda Uria, jatuh sakit dengan kehendak TUHAN.
And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord struck the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
16 Lalu Daud berdoa kepada TUHAN supaya anak itu sembuh. Ia berpuasa dan setiap malam ia berbaring semalam suntuk di lantai kamarnya.
And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
17 Lalu para pembesar istana pergi kepadanya dan membujuknya supaya bangkit, tetapi ia menolak dan tidak mau makan bersama dengan mereka.
And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.
18 Seminggu kemudian anak itu meninggal, dan hamba-hamba Daud takut untuk memberitahukannya. Kata mereka, "Ketika anak itu masih hidup, raja tidak mau mendengarkan jika kita berbicara kepadanya. Apalagi sekarang sesudah putranya meninggal! Jangan-jangan ia akan nekad menyakiti dirinya!"
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he listened not to our voice; and you should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
19 Ketika Daud melihat hamba-hambanya itu berbisik-bisik, sadarlah dia bahwa anak itu sudah meninggal. Lalu bertanyalah ia kepada mereka, "Apakah anak itu sudah meninggal?" "Sudah, Baginda," jawab mereka.
And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
20 Maka bangkitlah Daud dari lantai, lalu mandi dan menyisir rambutnya, serta bertukar pakaian. Kemudian ia pergi beribadat ke Rumah TUHAN. Setelah itu ia kembali ke istana, dan minta dihidangkan makanan baginya, lalu ia makan.
Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
21 Melihat itu, para hambanya berkata kepadanya, "Kami tidak mengerti, Baginda. Ketika anak itu masih hidup, Baginda berpuasa dan menangisinya, tetapi setelah ia meninggal, Baginda bangkit dan makan!"
And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that you have done concerning the child? while it was yet living you did fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead you did rise up, and did eat bread, and drink.
22 "Ya," jawab Daud, "memang aku berpuasa dan menangis ketika anak itu masih hidup sebab aku pikir: Mungkin TUHAN akan kasihan kepadaku dan menghendaki anak itu hidup.
And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?
23 Tetapi sekarang, setelah ia mati, apa gunanya aku terus berpuasa? Dapatkah aku menghidupkannya kembali? Kelak aku akan pergi juga ke tempat dia berada, tetapi sekarang dia tidak akan kembali kepadaku."
But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 Kemudian Daud menghibur hati Batsyeba istrinya, lalu tidur bersamanya. Batsyeba melahirkan seorang putra yang dinamakan Salomo oleh Daud. TUHAN mengasihi anak itu
And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 dan menyuruh Nabi Natan menamakan anak itu Yedija, karena TUHAN mengasihinya.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
26 Sementara itu Yoab masih bertempur melawan Raba ibukota negeri Amon, dan sudah hampir merebutnya.
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Lalu ia mengirim utusan kepada Daud dan melaporkan, "Aku telah menyerang Raba, dan merebut persediaan airnya.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.
28 Sekarang, sudilah Baginda mengumpulkan sisa tentara kita, lalu memimpin serangan untuk menaklukkan kota itu. Dengan demikian nanti tidak dikatakan orang bahwa aku yang merebut kota itu."
And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
29 Lalu Daud mengumpulkan seluruh tentaranya, dan menyerang Raba, diserbunya serta dikalahkannya.
And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
30 Daud mengambil mahkota dari kepala raja mereka dan dipakainya sendiri di kepalanya. Mahkota itu beratnya kira-kira 35 kilogram dan bertatahkan permata indah. Daud juga membawa banyak sekali barang rampasan dari kota itu.
And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
31 Selain itu penduduknya digiring, dan disuruh membawa gergaji, cangkul besi, dan kapak besi dan mereka pun dipekerjakan di tempat pembuatan batu bata. Hal itu dilakukannya juga terhadap penduduk kota-kota Amon yang lain. Sesudah itu Daud dan seluruh tentaranya kembali ke Yerusalem.
And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
